Officials Release New Jail Footage Of Sandra Bland To End Mugshot Rumors

Video footage showing Sandra Bland in jail was released to quash rumors she was already dead when her mugshot was taken.

Social media users started a conspiracy theory last week due to the faded look in Bland's eyes and her positioning against the wall in her mugshot, Mashable reports.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Waller County Judge Trey Duhon said the county made the several hours worth of video available to the public because these rumors evolved into death threats targeting both individuals and facilities.
